Second Chances & Summer Sun: Making the Most of Summer School (TGIF!) Sunshine, pool floats, and...summer school? . . . . . Don't worry, this summer session can be a blast! This year, I'm helping students rock their credit recovery courses and turn those "second chances" into sweet summer success stories. Here's why summer school can be a win-win: Catch Up & Conquer: Students can get back on track with the credits they need, opening doors to future opportunities. Beat the Heat (Kinda): Smaller class sizes and a focused environment can lead to a more relaxed and productive learning experience. Summer Fun Awaits: Fulfilling academic goals frees up time for all the fun summer activities you deserve! So, if you're facing credit recovery this summer, don't despair! With the right mindset and a little hard work, it can be a positive and rewarding experience. #summerschool #creditrecovery #secondchance #education #summerfun

Summer Break! What does this mean in the education realm? Well it is the end of the school year or coming close to the end. There is a flurry of activities. There are some students frantic to get those grades in to meet requirements for promotion or for graduation. In a typical classroom, the teachers are packing up, administering final examinations, preparing report cards. Overall, there is a community of people- faculty and students waiting to exhale. Students will go off to camp/or enjoy two months of lazy days. Teachers get a chance to practice the essential self care, travel, rest, and rejuvenate. Those last 10 months! Welcome summer break.

Is your teen or young adult preparing to transition to college or high school this fall? New environments often bring significant stress, self-doubt, and fear for students. Adjusting to new academic demands, making new friends, and navigating an unfamiliar social environment can be daunting. The transition to college, in particular, is a common challenge, even for students who excelled in high school. College presents a different level of academic rigor, coupled with major life changes such as moving to a new place and forming new social connections. Many students are not fully prepared for these changes, which can lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, and disengagement. To help your child thrive, we have developed a virtual summer life skills program specifically designed to ease these transitions. By being proactive and setting your child up for success, you can make a significant positive impact on their college or high school experience.
